A CIGARETTE GIRLS LUCK.

Brooklyn Examiner: Miss Ellen Scan
Ian, young singer of great promise, is
gong from Baltimore to Italy next week
to pursue her musical studies. Cardinal
Gibbons will pay her expenses as the
young girl is very poor, her father being
a laborer IN the employ of the Baltimore
& Ohio railroad The cardinal is an in
tense lover of music. One Sunday about
month ago Miss Scanlan, Uho sang IN
small chapel, was induced by Father
Graf, organist at the cathedral, to sing
the 20 Salutaris Hostia' while the car
dinal was on his throne at vespers. The
girl had never sung In the great cathedral
before, and. as she is very young and
modest, consented only after much
solicitation.
Such a sweet, fresh, clear and pathetic
voice had not been heard In the old cathe-
dral for years. After the services every
body was inquiring the name of the singer
and praising her wonderful gift. Cardinal
Gibbons was also curious. After more
inquiry he found out the girls name, the
poverty of her family and the necessity
which compelled her to work in a cigar
cite factory.
The generous prelate then sent for her,
offered TO pay her expenses while study
ing music in Italy, and only required
that she should sing in the cathedral
sometimes on her return. She readily
consented of course, and soon she will
be among the students of the Florence
conservatory.

That rheumatism and neuralgia are so
prevalent? This question has not been
satisfactorily answered, but it is certain
that these diseases are not only the most
painful but among the most common, and
some member of nearly every family in the
land is the victim of one of these dread
tormentorS. Ladies seem to be peculiarly
liable to neuralgia attacks, which, in the
form of neuralgic headache, pain In the
back, or nervous pains are OF constant oc-
currence. Notuntil the discovery of AthlO-
phoros had any remedy been found for
either rheumatism neuralgia or nervous
headache, and they were generally con-
coded to be incurable, but Athlophoros
has been proved 10 be not only a certain
cure for these diseases, in all their varied
forms, but a sLts remedy. If, in the use
of Athlophoros, the bowels are kept freely
open, its success is certain, and to aid this,
AthlophorOs Pills are recommended,
which, while providing the necessary
cathartic, will be found to he valuable
aid to the action of the medicine. Athlo-
phoros is no experiment, it has been tested
and has proved its wonde riul efficacy.
The AthlOphoros Pills were originally
prepared as a remedy for use in connection
with AthlophOrOS, for rheumatism and
neuralgia and kindred complaints. Used
in connection with that remedy, they are
4 certain cure for either of these very COM
mon and distressing dis eases. They have
also been found to he an invaluable remedy
for any and all diseases arising from vitiated
blood or general debility They are es-
pecially valuable for nervous debility, blood
poisoning, dyspepsia distress after eating,
headache constipation, loss OF appetite,
and all stomach or liver troubles For
diseases Of women they are invaluable.
These pills are perfectly harmless and may
De safely used by adults or children.
Testimonials of those who have been
-Ired will be sent free on application.
Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
not be bought of the druggist, the Athlo-
phoros Co., l12 Wall ST., New York, will
send either Carriage paid on receipt of
regular price, which is $l.00 per bottle
for Athlorhoros and Soc for Pills.

The Milwaukee Sentinel is the only

The Milwaukee Sentinel is the only
republican daily of any prominence which
does not assail the President for his veto
of the pension bill. No Sympathy for
Soldiers is the heading of leaders in all
others. Poor Grover; he should have
signed the bill if for no other purpose
than to stop the mouths of these pro-
fessional fault-fnders and put stop to
the everlasting gush Of the professional
lover of the old soldier. Grover has lived
to very little purpose if he has not learned
that it is always safer to yield to senti-
ment than to accept counsel from con-
science. There will be many soldiers Of
the type of General Bragg who will
sustain the President. But they are not
the mouthy ones. You have made a
mistake, honest, but impolitic, old Grover

THE Milwaukee county officers have in
self defense signed pledge refusing to
subscribe for books, to buy tickets for
balls, raffles or entertainments, or to con-
tribute money for any object whatever
during business hours. The penalty for
violation is $25. The reason for this ac-
ton is that the new officers found they
were in danger of contributing their en-
tire salaries unless a halt was called. One
of them on the first day of his term found
he had paid out S2370 He found that
if he gave to everything that came around
it would average just about that much
per day. When he found there was no
''let up" and that his fellows were in the
same box, the mutual protective associa-
ton was formed. 1t is said that Mayor
Stowell's entire salary of $4,000 per year
went out In subscriptions of this nature.
The officers of every county in the state
should organize as have those of Milwau-
kee. The new officers are the victims who
suffer most. They are assailed by a crowd
of harpies begging for money for some
thing. 1t is amusing to watch the ex-
preston of a new county officer when
he is informed that this thing will be
kept up while he is in office" Soon he
learns to refuse and to laugh at the
threats of humiliation when election
again rolls around.

MANY time and oft" one hears the
advice given to laborers that laws cannot
be enacted to regulate relations between
employer and employees; that the great
laws of business are the only ones to
which wages and the general relations O.
labor to capital are amendable. And still
the laws of trade are interfered with by
legislation in the interests of capital.
The law of supply and demand, the right
of buying In the cheapest and selling in
the highest market are thwarted by legis-
lation called protection. Why talk to
the laborer about legislation's being
unable to do aught for him when he seeks
its direct intervention in his behalf, and
tell him later that the legislation known
as protection is in his interest? But the
laborer is fool and cannot only be
deceived but allows himself to be used as
tool with which to burden people with
heavy taxes.

AMERICANS are apt to dwell with some
pride upon the small appropriations
made IN this country for military pur-
poses and contrast our condition with
that of European countries which support
standing armies. This dissatisfaction
finds expression in school biographies
and histories. The fact is that the Unit
ed States pay out for pensions more than
England or Germany does for its stand
ing army. When congress passes the
pension bill over Cleveland's veto, the
United States, when the law will have
become operative and claims" presented
and allowed, will be paying more for pen
sions than do Germany and England for
their standing armies. Taking the cost
of the war, the destruction of property
incident to the war, the pensions now
paid and those which will be paid during
the next 20 years, and the whole thing
will foot up more than the actual value
of all the states which constituted the
confederacy. How much wiser it would
have been if the United States bought
the slaves, paying 10000 times the value
of each, than to do what has been done.

A SINGULAR experiment has

A SINGULAR experiment has been tried
in New York by physician recently. A
Paris oculist has been experimenting with
rabbits, exchanging eyes. 1t seems that
the eyes can be transplanted and will be-
come attached, though they will be sight
less. A Minneapolis man had one of his
eyes injured some time ago by a fire
cracker. Its sight was lost and soon it
began to effect the other eye. 1t was
found necessary to remove it. 1t was
learned that New York oculist was sue
cessful IN transplanting eyes and the
Minneapolis man resolved to have a rab-
bits eye substituted for his injured one
The eye was transplanted and became at
tached, but in few days all the coloring
matter ran off and the eye had to be TAX
en- out.

SENATOR SAWYER and Congressman
Van Shiack presented petitions from la
borers of Bay View asking for repeal of
internal revenue takes. While working
men will ask that the taxes on tobacco
and whiskey be repealed and those on the
necessaries of life be retained, there can
not be much hope of the betterment of
their condition. Those laborers would be
acting more in harmony with their own
interests if they asked that the tax on
whiskey and tobacco be increased. But
they are not expressing their own views
These petitions are signed at the dicta-
ton OF employers. They want free whis-
key and tobacco solely because that would
necessitate the continuance of the tax on
imported necessities. The corporations
make it point to make their demands
through the laborers.

Ono. but The Inter Ocean has voice
which if not for open war" at least is for
preparation for open war. 1t perceives
that in the fisheries matter England is
pursuing a policy of delay. Just the
thing we want according to The Inter
Ocean. The time spent in delay can be
utilized in getting ready for war. Just
think of that, old veterans, and let your
pulses beat faster. Because few sneak
ing skulking fishermen were not allowed
to disregard treaty, We must prepare
for war so that we can talk big" to
England. There were some men who
wanted a war with Mexico because a
scurvy editor was arrested for libel We
are mighty people.

IT is very doubtful whether the mill
Tax" law will be repealed at this session.
The feeling is quite general that it has
not yet been sufficiently tested and that
it is better to amend it so as to remove
objections to it than it is to repeal it.
The economy argument has lost all
force and people are now ashamed to use
it. The Only valid argument which can
be used against it, is its tendency toward
parternalism by the state and relieving
the parent of all feelings of responsibility
in the education of the child The child
belongs to the family more than he does
to the state. But this danger can be
obviated by amendments, and then the
law will be good one.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND showed consid-
cradle nerve IN vetoing the pension bill.
1t is quite evident he is man who cam
not be coerced by popular c,amor, and
indeed it would seem that he does not
yield to expediency. Politically he has
done an unwise thing and has furnished
the opposition a club with which to beat
out his own brains. He will be denounc-
ed by those who secretly approve the
veto, but lacking in the magnanimity to
forego the partisan advantage they feel
the veto gives them.
There were some things in the bill
which must have been exceedingly DIS
tasteful to soldiers of pride. A confess
ion of pauperism was a condition prece-
dent to receiving aid. An absolute pen
sion law giving pension to every one
who enlisted without any restricting pro-
visions as to desertion or other cause, is
what the times demand, and what is GER
tain to come.
Congress passed the bill by a large ma
jority. 1t was not the purpose to give
aid to needy soldiers, but to give prestige
to needy politicians, and the President
was importuned by those who aided IN
the passage of the bill to veto it. Now
the towards will be put on record. Con-
gress will pass the bill over the veto. No
chances will be taken in the direction of
giving offense to the old soldiers.
1t is unfortunate that the bill was
| vetoed, and by democratic president
particularly. DUTY to the soldier" has
served the demagogue too long and here
| was an opportunity of putting the thing
| to final rest. 1t does not matter that it
| would involve an additional expense of
| about S70,0O0,000 per year, as the people
seem to be opposed to the reduction of
taxes. Even if it should necessitate an
| additional tax, compensation would be
found in the relief from the politicians
| refrain of duty to the old soldier" It
is hoped congress will have sufficient dem
| agogy to pass the bill over the veto.

The winter has been terribly severe
one in the Rocky Mountain territories.
Since the holidays the weather has been
excessively cold, reaching the almost in
credible temperature of 60 degrees below
zero. The snow fall has been something
unusual. On the level 1t is in the Ma
tjonal Park from TO II feet, and in drifts
it has reached depth of 50 feet. A great
amount of suffering has been the result
and many lives have been lost. The In
dams have suffered terribly as they were
not in a condition to withstand such severe
and long continued cold. The cattle
business has received check. In some
instances whole herds have been lost 1t
is estimated that in portions of Montana
fifty per cent. of the cattle have persisted
and throughout the territory fully 20 per
cent. The sheep industry has been al
most wholly wiped out and the coyotes
are slaughtering what the storms have
spared.

SECRETARY MANNING has handed in his
resignation and it has been accepted by
the President. The correspondence IN
cident to this proceeding is interesting
and creditable to both men. Manning
retires enjoying an enviable reputation as
statesman. It seems strange that the
cabinet officer of whom least was expect
ed, and who had a reputation only as a
politician, should leap to the front as
Manning did. He seemed to have mus
tered the details of his position by COM
pretending its principles. Two years of
public life have made him q historical
figure, and have also made him long for
retirement.

The Milwaukee & st. Paul Road

THE Milwaukee & st. Paul Road is ex-
perimenting with steam as a heater for
its cars SO that in case of collisions the
calamity will not be increased by fire.
The steam is to be taken from the loco
motive. Some people insist that railroad
companies much prefer to see the fire do
the work of destruction begun by the
collision, because the damage recovered
for the death of passenger is much less
than that collected for the naming of a
passenger. This, it is hoped, is rot true,
though it does seem strange that cars
always burn out and the conductor in
variably loses his tickets in case of a
collision at which fatalities occur

making very reasonable comments on his
circular to the members of the G. A. r.
The circular was clearly designed to pro-

the bill should pass over the veto, but it
should not pass on any such grounds as
the Fairchild circular contemplated.
